Complementary Options for Mood Disorders

During the period when I was being treated for a PMD I found many practices that seemed to complement the traditional treatment I was receiving in the form of medication and therapy.  These practices were so beneficial that I have continued to engage in some of them now, two years later.  Here is a link to an article about Complementary Medicine in the Postpartum Period.

Below is a list of some complementary options here in Atlanta that I would recommend IN ADDITION to your own specific treatment plan, which should always be monitored by a physician.  Please do discuss each one of the options with your medical professional before beginning a program.

Acupuncture

Aromatherapy

Chiropractic: Dr. Christopher Scoma, Buckhead Wellness Center

Cranial-Sacral Therapy: Center Point Therapies

Massage Therapy: Center Point Therapies

Homeopathic Medicine (which differs from Herbs, which generally do not interact well with psych meds)

Hypnotherapy: Hypnosis Works

Postnatal Vitamin Supplements: Sound Formulas: After Baby Boost

Yoga: Vista Yoga
